Passivity-Based Control to Guarantee Stability | Control Systems in Practice...

Learn about passivity-based control to guarantee closed-loop stability of feedback systems. Consider different ways to assess the stability of systems other than looking at gain and phase...

PID Controller Variations

It is important to understand the variations on the PID algorithm when tuning and when choosing a version that is consistent within your use context.  Unfortunately, there are many names for...

Inverted Pendulum on a Cart [Control Bootcamp]

In this video, we introduce an example system to control: an inverted pendulum on a cart. We describe the state-space, find the fixed points, and simulate the system in Matlab. Because the...

What is a Matched Filter?

This video explains the Matched Filter from a signals perspective.

Bumpless Transfer and Tuning

Switching from MAN to AUTO mode or LOCAL to CASCADE or changing the controller integral time should not cause a change in the controller output, a bump.  But a primitive coding of the PID...
